"During our expedition, a whole group of people were mutilated in an inhuman fashion. I know the first question that pops into your mind: What were the rocks like?"
Pretty solid book if someone wants to read about an Artic (or Antarctic) expedition, but will sorely disappoint people who came here trying to find The Thing or The Abyss or some other story with Old Ones. I appreciate the work and it's influence on film and fiction, but I find Lovecraft's obsession with taxonomy, and his obsession with grounded academic perspective, more dull than interesting.
